Multiple News Events Unfold Across the Globe
Several significant events unfolded across the globe, ranging from a troubled NASA rocket test to the arrest of a Crown Princess's son and the discovery of illicit operations in San Francisco.
In Florida, a hydrogen leak hampered a fueling test for NASA's Artemis II moon rocket on Monday, according to CBS News. Engineers managed a workaround, allowing the countdown "wet dress" rehearsal to proceed toward a simulated launch. Mission managers are now reviewing data to determine if the rocket will be cleared for launch as early as Sunday, February 8th. NASA has a limited launch window this month, with potential dates on February 8, 10, and 11, before the mission would be delayed to March, CBS News reported. The Space Launch System rocket stands at pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center. The test involved pumping over 750,000 gallons of supercold liquid oxygen and hydrogen fuel into the 32-story-tall rocket.
Meanwhile, in San Francisco, city officials announced the shutdown or legal action against nine secret drug and gambling dens disguised as convenience stores in the Tenderloin district, Fox News reported last Thursday. City Attorney David Chiu stated that these stores engaged in illegal activities, including gambling, drug sales, firearm possession, trafficking stolen goods, and violating the city's nighttime safety ordinance. These operations had been targeted over the past 18 months.
Tragedy struck New York, where Nassau County Police Department Officer Patricia Espinosa, 42, died on Saturday morning when her vehicle was struck by a suspected drunk driver, Fox News reported. According to the police union, the other vehicle reportedly ran a red light and struck her vehicle. The New York Post added that the vehicle involved was reportedly a large Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. Espinosa, a new mother from a family of law enforcement officers, is survived by her husband and fellow officer, Francisco Malaga. Donations have surged, with nearly $200,000 raised in two days, Fox News reported.
In Norway, Marius Borg Høiby, 29, the son of Crown Princess Mette-Marit, was arrested on suspicion of assault before his rape trial, BBC World reported. He was remanded in custody for four weeks. Police said the latest allegations against him involved wielding a knife and violating a restraining order, and there was a risk of reoffending. He faces 38 charges, including the rape of four women, and his trial is scheduled to begin in Oslo on Tuesday. According to BBC World, this is the fourth time he has been detained by police since August 2024, when he was accused of assaulting a woman he had been having a relationship with. He has denied the charges.
